MEDICAL PANNIER MOUNTED. WOUNDED IN BATTLE Preparations That Have Been Made for Their Care IN THE PRESENT WAR WITH SPAIN How the Hospital Corps Will Work in the Field. PLACE OF ARMY SURGEONS Written for The Ei “War means bzttles and battles mean wounds, and all the dictates of humanity and expediency require that these wounds shall ree orompt and efficient surgical attendanc>,” said Lieut. Col. Brown of the surgeoa general's staff, in speaking of the work of his department in the present war. “For th» past two months our department has been as busy as every other branch of the army and navy in preparing for actual hostilit At present the work is well in hand. Ih addition to the regular force of army surgeons, a large number of volun- teer enlistments have been placed on file. enough in all probability to meet every requirement. Most of these have come from young surgeons who have recently completed their training in the big city hospitals, and who are as well equipped for this kind of work as anybody who has not received a special training in military surgery can be. A comprehensive plan of ficld work has been drawn up, and “ft is not likely that there will be aay hitch fn this branch of the service. “Ip laying its plans for field work the surgical department has some entirely new problems to face with practically no expe- rience to' guide it. Since the most recent war of any extent between two civilized nations there have been two revolutions which will have a marked effect on fletd surgery. One of these has taken place entnz Star. ive the science of surgery itself, by the intre- dvction and general application of anti- in se principles. The other has been the character of the weapons employed Wartare. The small steei projectile used in modern army rifles inflicts a differen: sort of wound from the old-style bullet. As to the exact effect of this change in the style of weapon employed there has been No practical demonstration, but some rea- Scnably accurate guesses may be made. Work of the New Bullet. “In the first place, greater velocity, Sreater penetration, greater rapidity of fire and the use of smokeless powder, should mean a larger number of men hit in the course of an engagement. Of those who are hit. probably a larger proportion will be killed outright, or will die before -aid can reach them. The new style bul- Jet will make a clezn cut wound more fa- Yorable to internal hemorrhage, or to im- Mediate death if a vital part is touched. But of those who survive to reach a hos- pital or to-receive surgical attendanc: #reater number should recover. The very fact that a wound is clean-cut instead of Fagged makes it easier to dress, and the Penetrating power of the new projectiles Make it less likely that bullets or parts of bullets will remain lodged inside a man’s body. The improvements in surgery should likewise have an intluence in increasing the Proportion of recoveries, “While these possibilities are interesting there are other considerations of more im- mediat> importance. Modern army rifles have a much longer range than the guns employed say in the civil war. This makes it inevitable that a modern engagement Will be fought with more extended lin=s than were previous conflicts, and that the hospital dressing station,’ which must necessarily be gut of firing range, will be further removed from the line of battl>. It may take one or two battles to decide cer- tain of these matters, but the general plan for field hospital work is already arrang-d and will be followed out according to the directions of the surgeon general.”* How the Corps Will Work. In the United States army the hospital corps is divided into two detacnments, one for servie> in the field hospitals, the other to man the ambulances and litters for the removal of the wounded from the field. The plan of a field hospital, as outlined by Lieut. Col Forwood, deputy surgeon gen- eral, provides for four lines, separated by Gistances which will be determined by the character of the battlefield. The first line f hospital service ts coincident with the line of batti>, and includes the regimental surgeons, orderlies and company bearers. On the second line are located the frst dressing fons, at the nea point be- yond range of tae =nemy’s fire. Here am- buianee ns attend to the wounds, and ambulances and litter bearers of the hos- pital corps convey the wounded to the third line. ‘This is called the ambulance station. eption, operating and dressing tents are here the wounded can be attend- mtil they can be removed to the divi- sion hospitais at the base of supplies. None of th: hospital corps serves in the line of battle. The wounded are conveyed to the first dressing stations by privates from the ranks. The army regulations pro- Vide that four privates from each company shall be d>signated as company bearers. They are taught how to handle wounded men, and in nrst ald, in addition to their regular duties as armed combatants. They Might in the line until their services are re- quired to attend the wounded, whom they convey to the first dressing places. There the injured are turned over to the hos- pital corps, and the compeny bearers re- turn to their places in the ranks. They are under the direction of their own offi- vers, and have nothing to do with the of mds. Their only care is to y the wounded beyond the reach of the enemy's fire. bs At the Dressing Stations, At the first dressing stations, where the - Wounded receive thetr first attention, aside from such hasty bandaging as the regi- mental surgecns may be able to provide, there fs a completely equipped field hospit- alin miniature. In the United States army the main medical stores are carried in army wagons, but as these cannot keep up with the tine of battle, it is proposed that pack mules be employed to carry supplies to these dressing stations. A medical case or pannier, so built as to fit the back of mule, contains all the materials re- red, a variety of antiseptics, medicines the relief of pain, bandages, splints, Plasters and operating instruments. A cook accompanies each of the divisions, carrying a case of portable cooking uten- sila. As soon as this detachment reaches its station, tents ere put up, the medical cases are cpened, and their contents placed in readiness for use; an operating table is improvised by placing two of the folding panniers together, so that they will afford a place on which to lay the wound- ed while the surgeon is working over them; while the ccok sets up his tent and makes ready to prepare light nourishment. The dressing places are intended to he only temporary stopping places for the wounded. As sccn as their immediate wants are attended to they are conveyed back to the ambulance stations in light bamboo stretchers carried by the litter bearers of the hospital corps. Thence the ambulances carry them back to the divi- sion hospitals. The Hospitals Proper. The hcspitals proper are near enough the base-of action so that they may be transported in army wagons and equipped with a full outfit of medical and surgical supplies, comfortable cot beds and other conveniences which are necessarily lack- ing in the field. Here the wounded are supposed to rest until they can be trans- ferred to permanent hospitals or to the hospital ships, as will probably be the case in the Cuban campaign. in case the army moves so rapidly that the army wagons cannot keep up, or in such a rough country that they cannot easily make their way, a flying detach- ment of the field hospital will be organ- ized, consisting of light ambulance and medical wagons, which can go wherever troops can march. They will carry every- thing that the heavier supply trains con- tain, only in smaller quantities. The position of the army surgeon has greatly improved of recent years. Lieut. Col. Forwood, assistant surgeon general U. S. A., says: “The medical department now stands about on a footing with other staff Panniers as =n Operating Table. departments. Its supremancy in all mat- ters affecting the health of the trocps as well as the care of those actually wounded has been at length practieally conceded. This improvement in the standing of the army medical staff is due to the improve- | ment in the service and in the character of the men composing it. When the army ‘| surgeon was a drunken, ignorant fellow it was natural enough that he should be held in slight esteem. That he now occupies a high position in the estimation and con- 1 fidence of the military authorities is the di- Tect result of his success in organizing and extending the usefulness of the military medical service. Sanitary Conditions. “Not the least important respect in which this branch of the service has been im- proved is in the sanitary condition of camps. He is the sanitary officer of his command, and his advice is to be sought in the location of camp and garrisons, in the construction of buildings, the quality of food and clothing, and the general require- ments of cleanliness and sanitation. He must constantly guard against the enemy in the rear, which, in the form of fevers scurvy, cholera and other diseases, has car- ried off many times as many fighting nen as were ever killed by bullets. The saving of lives from improved sanitary and health conditions in camp and on the march wil? probably be one of the most uotable achievements of the medical service im any coming war. : “The position apd work of an army sur- geon is most trying. The ligation of an artery or the amputation of 4 limb may be a simple matter where there ts ample time end plenty of assistants, but when this has to be done on the field, with hastily pre- pared and deficient arrangemsuts, with in- adequate hetp or none, in the midat of con- fusion and burry, and the clamor of wound- ed men suffering on alt sides fror: want of attention, in the night most ‘ikely, with only a flickering candle or two for light, in the rain rd mud, with cold hands and benumbed fingers, tired and exhausted from overwork. it becomes quite another thing. Hence, all honor to the army surgeons, who have mor work and less chance of glory than any other branch of the servic2.” ——_-e-+___ (Copyright, 1898, Life Publishing Company.) we wet Mazeppa—“This is tiresome, but now’s my chance for- ART. AND ARTISTS. One of the important features of the ex-" hibit of the National Sculpture Society, which opened in New York a week ago, is the impressive statue of Hahnemann, mod- eled by Charles H. Niehaus, intended to be erected in Washington. The monument, including the elaborate architectural set- Ung, is estimated to cost in the neighbor- hood of $75,000, a good part of the sum having already been raised by general sub- scriptions. Those interested in this me- morial to the distinguished physician who founded the homeopathie schoo] were anx- ious to have the statue placed in the Con- gtessional Library grounds, but the resolu- tion granting a site passed by the Senate a short time ago provides for its location only on land “other than the Capitol or Library grounds. The architectural set- ting for the monument is to be of gray granite and in the form of a Greek exhe- dra, the dimensions of the base to be forty- six by thirty feet, and the height at the center twenty-two feet. The bronze statue of Hahnemann is to be placed in front of and partly within the mosaic-lined niche in the center of the structure, and is to be supported by a small pedestal bearing the iniéription, “Similia Simil-Curentur,” itketly expressing the basic principle pathy. The sculptor has repre- lainemann in a sitting pesture, a ss left hand, his right hand sup- is head, which is bowed in an pressive of deep thought. The as reliefs which Mr. Niehaus has modeled for the spaces above the stone seat show the different pertods of the pay- sician’s life, the first und second showing him as a student and as a chemist and the last two gommemorating his self-sacrificing experiments upon himself and his treat- ment in the hospital at Leipsic. Even from the small model of the mouument which has been shown at one of the local phar- macies for some time, and from the neces- sarily unsatisfactory record of photo- graphs, the dignified and impressive char- actsnf the memorial may be seen, and the monument promises to be a most p'easing combination of sculpture and architecture. * * * Max Weyl still confines himself to his studio work, and has made a few excur- sions into the country in search of new ma- terial, but he plans to turn his attention to outdoor work very soon. In the mean- time he keeps himself busy with the oid motives that he has not yet worked up, and his studio contains a number of can veses in various stages of completion, many of them based on the material that he gathered in Virginia last year. In one of these, « subject which he found near Pax- . and which shows in the distance the parliy wooded eminence known as Roun: Hill, the disposition of the masses of light and dark {s extremely agreeable and the work has the charm of color that is sei- dem absent from Mr. Weyl’s pictures, * OK Among the new additions which are con- stantly being made to the display of the art department at the Congressional Li- brary the old engravings and hthographs portraying some of. the early naval en- Bagewents in our history are attracting especial attention. Even more interest is being manifested in the superb collection of photugraphs of our naval vessels of to- day, which Mr. Alvord has had placed in the adjoining cas. Neariy all of the vessels of our navy are included in this collectioy some of the phuirgraphs having been taken when the vessels were under full steam on their official speed trials. Visitors whose interest is entirety in things artistic will find a treat to their taste in the exbibit which is shown in the cases In he southwest pavilion. Her2 a splendid collection ef genuine wood cngravings by Albert Durer may be seen, the master’s well-known series of prints’ depicting the “Life of the Virgin” being shown complete. A close study of these remarkable ex- amples of xylography will be well repaid, and will bring an added appreciation of Durer's command over the use of line. Among the other engravings shown are several examples by Ugo da Carpi, who is said to have inventel the art of ‘e.grav- ing in chiaroscuro, and specimens of the work of Hans Rogel and Rartoiomeo Corto- lano. In contrast to these old prints ure the examples of modern wood engraving, which are shown in a case by themselves. The engravings made vy Charles Baude from some of Rembrandt's best known paintings easily take a trst)place amoung the specimens of modern work. * * % ‘The artistic merit of the charming water celors which Mr. James Henry Moser ex- hibited in the recent display of the Boston Art Club received fitting recognition in the purchase of one of the pictures by the club. The little study that the club ac- quired is a wintry scene, in which the only incication of life is the-curling column of bluish smoke that rises from the mouth of a distant tunnel, which has just swallowed up a passing train. It is in itself a slight subject, and it is on the manner in which it is treated that the little painting relies for interest. A collection of tiny water colors that are now in his studio show Mr. Moser’s fondness for motives of that kind— mere impressions of nature, which, if con- ventionally handled, would have little inter- est. Under his brush, however, they be- come delightful studies of color and tone, and the very simplicity of the subjects leaves one freer to enjoy the purely artistic qualities. : * x * Miss Elizabeth W. Bell's recent portrait of General Fitzhugh Lee, now on view at Veerhoff’s, is naturally a subject of consid- erable interest at this time. On account of the softness and delicacy of texture which are characteristic of Miss Bell's work, her style seems to be better adapted to fem- inine heads, where it lends a certain charm, but is somewhat unsatisfactory in the present portrait because of the failure to give an impression of strength, although in other respects she has succeeded in mak- ing a very good likeness. * * * A couple of Mr. Edwin Lamasure’s wa- ter colors are also at Veerhoff’s, one show- ing an effect of clearing after storm, with pools of rain water standing in the road- way, and the other a very pleasing ma- rine. In the stretch of water rolling quietly up on the beach, with the waves lighted to brighter green by the sunlight across them, he has a motive not altogether new to him, but one which he always handles with success. One “of Mr. Lamasure’s paintings was shown at the water color exhibition now open at the Art Institute in Chicago. In accordance with his usual practice, Mr. Lamasure will spend most of the summer painting out of town, go- ing to Round Hill the middle of May, and possibly later on to some point on the coast where he can get some of his fa- vorite marine subjects. * x * Mr. H. B. Bradford has been devoting himself steadily to work in illustration, and has recently completed a number of inter- esting drawings, among which may be mentioned a pencil study of an old colored weman. He has expressed the character of the face very well in a few single lines, and the sketch is handled with mare free- dom than usual. With him this is a move in the right direction, as his fondness for accuracy leads him often toward an ex- cessively close imitation of nature. A very attractive drawing that he finished a short time ago represents a beautiful girl dream- ily sweeping the strings of a harp. The study is executed on gray paper, and the effect of iight ts very well rendered by the use of Chinese white. * xe Although she has ordinarily worked largely in black and white, most of Miss Hattie E. Burdette’s recent work in that medium has hed a more special tendency in the direction of illustration. The strong decorative feeling and imaginative quality which mark” everything that comes from her hands are much in evidence in sev- | eral large decorative subjects she has lately done in charcoal. One charcoal head is particularly nice fn its modeling, all the lines being full of suggestiveness. He principal work for some time has been a Portrait in profile of Julia Marlowe. Miss Burdette’s treatment of the hair and of the flesh tints has been very satisfactory, and though studied from a photograph the’ result is both a good likeness and an ideal- Ty charming head. * ' ** At the last regular meeting of the Art Students’ League, held on Tuesday, four active members were elected—Miss Mar- guerite Downing and Messrs. George Gibbs, Mills Thompson and Felix Mahoney. Mr. Mann made a report on the success of the recent en! $250. * 1, “To ‘obtain ‘ang rtised letters re- So) Peat-omee Set. ‘ot tnébe icttets the applicant should call for “Advertised } ntters.”?

All through the fire-swept region in Gippsland the in- habitants are suffering great privations, and in many other parts of the colony things are nearly as bad. Among the places which were ruined is the township of An- glesea, about twenty-five miles from Gee- long,where the local hotel and the Anglican Church were burned out. The township at Ferntree Gully narrowly escaped destruc- tion, the energy of a gang of railway em- ployes saving it, but the beautiful éern- tree Gully Park was simply swept away by the fire, the trees and ferns being re- duced to ashes. . "The newspapers are full of stories of narrow escapes and terrible experiences. Perhaps the most exciting 1s the story of @ man called Whelan of Wild Dog creek. He was alone when the fire swept down on him. He was soon surrounded by flames, and he rushed around looking for a break in the fire. He could find none, but seeing a spot where the grass had burned low he determined upon a rush through it. He had not gone far, however, when ho found his passage blocked by a sheet of surging flame and by falling timber. All hope of life seemed past, but, plunging once again through a corner of the fire, Whelan ran for Wild Dog creek. ‘The flames followed him down the hill, and he jumped into the creek and lay full length in the shallow waters. The creek could give him protection only while he lay in it. Even then his head was exposed, and his halr was singed by successive tongues of flame which passed over the shallow wa- tercourse. All through the long hours of the afternoon and night Whelan lay there, not daring to move, even though trees of giant stature fell all around him. The ter of the creek reached almost to boiling point, and was thickened with the cinders one cua trees.
